Part-time, 20 hours/week – Auckland-based (hybrid option available)

We’re looking for a clever, creative, and compassionate human to join HELP Auckland’s Fundraising & Communications Team.

You’ll be our go-to for digital campaigns, social media, supporter comms, donor platforms, and the occasional Canva triumph. From helping us sell out events, to optimising our donation pages and spotlighting our community heroes, your mahi will help fund the work that changes lives.

We’re a small but mighty team, with big goals — and a workplace where values, wellbeing, and laughter matter.

In this role, you’ll:

Help us grow our impact by coordinating our digital fundraising and marketing campaigns.
Manage our social media and email comms, keeping supporters informed and inspired.
Update our website and improve SEO for our fundraising and survivor resource pages.
Track campaign performance and provide insights to make us even better.
Jump into campaign support, donor care, and the occasional raffle prize dash!

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

Have a way with words and a good eye for design (Canva counts!).
Are familiar with platforms like Meta, Raisely, Mailchimp or Keela (or are tech-curious and eager to learn).
Bring 2+ years of marketing, comms or fundraising experience (even volunteer or internship experience is fab).
Want your work to be values-aligned and socially impactful.
Are happy working part-time (20 hours/week) and enjoy a supportive workplace.

A bit about us:

HELP Auckland is a free specialist support service for survivors of sexual abuse. We provide 24/7 crisis support, therapy, court support, and prevention education. Our vision is for a society free from sexual violence, and our work supports thousands of people each year.

Sound like you?

Part-time, 10 hours/week – Auckland-based (hybrid or remote considered)

We’re on the hunt for a thoughtful, detail-loving wordsmith to join HELP Auckland’s Fundraising & Communications Team.

As our Grant Writer, you’ll lead the charge on securing community grant income — telling the story of HELP’s work with accuracy, heart, and strategic flair. From crafting compelling funding applications to ensuring every dollar is reported on with care, your work will help ensure survivors get the support they need, when they need it.

You’ll be part of a small but mighty team with big goals, strong values, and a shared commitment to impact (with regular snacks and a lot of laughs along the way).
